Okay. Technically, I haven’t slept yet. But. I will. And, then it will be a good morning.

Because, I’ll start it off with this:

PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE OATMEAL

When I was I skater, I started my morning with a bowl (okay sometimes just a few bites…) of oatmeal. A lot has changed, but I still love my oats. And I’ve gotten better at cooking them! This is one of my favorite recipes to start my morning with sustaining tummy love, an oatmeal keeper!

Ingredients:

1/2 cup rolled oats

1 cup low-fat milk (organic or non-dairy)

1/2 banana, sliced thin (enjoy the rest while cooking!)

1 1/2 tbs chia seeds (optional but SO good!)

2-3 tbs peanut butter (or your favorite nut butter)

Pinch of salt

Splash of vanilla

Cinnamon, to taste

Honey/Agave Nectar, to taste

Directions:

Add oats, milk, banana, chia seeds and salt in pot. Bring to a boil, then simmer over medium heat. Stir/whip the entire time until the liquid is absorbed to your liking. Notice the bananas melting away. This is a great, creamy, delicious thing! Turn off the heat. Whip in vanilla, cinnamon and peanut butter / nut butter until combined. Drizzle with sweetness to taste. Add toppings (suggested below) for MORE fun, nutrition and flavor. Dive in!
